senate 02/26/2025 - 119th Congress

We’re working to ensure families play an integral role in shaping their children's educational experiences by amending the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Our goal is to require schools to notify parents about their ability to include experts or individuals with special knowledge about their child in the individualized education program (IEP) team, fostering more personalized support and collaboration.

Good idea making parents more involved, but will this just mean more meetings and no results?

A win for students and parents! Let's gear up support for individualized education across the board.

Finally, a step towards more inclusive education, where parents get a voice, not just a report card.

Notification requirements are nice, but what about the added burden on already stretched local agencies?

More paperwork for schools to drown in? Make sure this act doesn’t just empower lawyers instead of families.

Empowering families? Sign me up! About time we make IEPs more than just a bureaucratic checklist.

IEP notifications sound practical, but let's hope it cuts red tape and doesn't add more.

A thoughtful proposal, but I wonder if the execution will match the intention.
